Scattered polynomials of a given index over finite fields are intriguing rare objects with many connections within mathematics. Of particular interest are the exceptional ones, as defined in 2018 by the first author and Zhou, for which…
A linear code with parameters of the form $[n, k, n-k+1]$ is referred to as an MDS (maximum distance separable) code. A linear code with parameters of the form $[n, k, n-k]$ is said to be almost MDS (i.e., almost maximum distance separable)…
We consider a new class of linear codes, called affine Grassmann codes. These can be viewed as a variant of generalized Reed-Muller codes and are closely related to Grassmann codes. We determine the length, dimension, and the minimum…
This work investigates the structure of rank-metric codes in connection with concepts from finite geometry, most notably the $q$-analogues of projective systems and blocking sets. We also illustrate how to associate a classical…
In this paper we construct infinite families of non-linear maximum rank distance codes by using the setting of bilinear forms of a finite vector space. We also give a geometric description of such codes by using the cyclic model for the…
A linear code with parameters $[n, k, n-k+1]$ is called a maximum distance separable (MDS for short) code. A linear code with parameters $[n, k, n-k]$ is said to be almost maximum distance separable (AMDS for short). A linear code is said…
The weights in MDS codes of length n and dimension k over the finite field GF(q) are studied. Up to some explicit exceptional cases, the MDS codes with parameters given by the MDS conjecture are shown to contain all k weights in the range…
The $q$-ary block codes with two distances $d$ and $d+1$ are considered. Several constructions of such codes are given, as in the linear case all codes can be obtained by a simple modification of linear equidistant codes. Upper bounds for…
Consider the Grassmann graph formed by $k$-dimensional subspaces of an $n$-dimensional vector space over the field of $q$ elements ($1<k<n-1$) and denote by $\Pi(n,k)_q$ the restriction of this graph to the set of projective $[n,k]_q$…
We address the question of constructing explicitly quasi-uniform codes from groups. We determine the size of the codebook, the alphabet and the minimum distance as a function of the corresponding group, both for abelian and some nonabelian…
We give an alternative proof of the formula for the minimum distance of a projective Reed-Muller code of an arbitrary order. It leads to a complete characterization of the minimum weight codewords of a projective Reed-Muller code. This is…
We determine the minimum possible column multiplicity of even, doubly-, and triply-even codes given their length. This refines a classification result for the possible lengths of $q^r$-divisible codes over $\mathbb{F}_q$. We also give a few…
This paper contributes to the study of rank-metric codes from an algebraic and combinatorial point of view. We introduce $q$-polymatroids, the $q$-analogue of polymatroids, and develop their basic properties. We associate a pair of…
This paper is about the logarithmic limit sets of real semi-algebraic sets, and, more generally, about the logarithmic limit sets of sets definable in an o-minimal, polynomially bounded structure. We prove that most of the properties of the…
We introduce in this article a new method to estimate the minimum distance of codes from algebraic surfaces. This lower bound is generic, i.e. can be applied to any surface, and turns out to be ``liftable'' under finite morphisms, paving…
We present the theory of linear rank-metric codes from the point of view of their fundamental parameters. These are: the minimum rank distance, the rank distribution, the maximum rank, the covering radius, and the field size. The focus of…
In this paper we compute the order (or Feng-Rao) bound on the minimum distance of one-point algebraic geometry codes, when the Weierstrass semigroup at the point Q is an Arf semigroup. The results developed to that purpose also provide the…
We show that the sequence of dimensions of the linear spaces, generated by a given rank-metric code together with itself under several applications of a field automorphism, is an invariant for the whole equivalence class of the code. The…
Projective Reed-Muller codes(PRM codes) are constructed from the family of projective hypersurfaces of a fixed degree over a finite field $\F_q$. In this paper, we completely determine the minimal distance of the hull of any Projective…
Let $A_q(n,d)$ be the maximum order (maximum number of codewords) of a $q$-ary code of length $n$ and Hamming distance at least $d$. And let $A(n,d,w)$ that of a binary code of constant weight $w$. Building on results from algebraic graph…
